Consider a reaction that is first order in both directions: $A \underset{K_b}{\stackrel{K_f}{\rightleftharpoons}} B$. Initially only $A$ is present,and its concentration is $A_{0}$. Assume $A_{t}$ and $A_{\text{eq}}$ are the concentrations of $A$ at time $t$ and at equilibrium,respectively. The time $t$ at which $A_{t} = (A_{0} + A_{\text{eq}})/2$ is $....$

  • A
    $t = \frac{\ln (3/2)}{(K_{f} + K_{b})}$
  • B
    $t = \frac{\ln (3/2)}{(K_{f} - K_{b})}$
  • C
    $t = \frac{\ln 2}{(K_{f} + K_{b})}$
  • D
    $t = \frac{\ln 2}{(K_{f} - K_{b})}$
